Pinterest Updates Terms of Service in Light of New Business Accounts

According to Pinterest, “We now have two sets of terms—one for people and one for businesses. The business terms help guide businesses on how to use Pinterest. They also enable us to separate the provisions meant for businesses from those meant for regular people. As a result, we updated our user terms to be half as long.” – Pinterest

In updating their terms of service, Pinterest also took the opportunity to simplify the language as much as possible. It’s much easier to deal with now.
